Jasmine Rae releases new music video, featuring US country star Kellie Pickler

21 May 2014

'Bad Boys Get Me Good' is the third single from Jasmine Rae's ARIA and multiple-Golden Guitar nominated album, If I Want To. The track is a duet with US Country superstar Kellie Pickler.

The track features Jasmine Rae and Kellie Pickler trading verses on a song about a woman's love for the wrong kind of man. Today the track's new music video has been released, featuring the two stunning artists in both real and cartoon form! The clip will feature at the top of each hour today on CMC.

While having been acknowledged for some time as a premier vocalist and performer, Jasmine Rae is now being recognised as one of Australia's most gifted songwriters, with her original songs like 'If I Want To', 'Just Don't Ask Me How I Am' and 'First Song' capturing the attention of music fans and industry peers. If I Want To was nominated for an ARIA Award and Jasmine Rae was nominated for 3 x Golden Guitar Awards in the major categories of Album of the Year, Single of the Year and Female Artist of the Year.

In March, music fans voted Jasmine Rae 2014 CMC Female Oz Artist of Year. Over 380,000 votes were cast for this year's awards by Australian Country Music fans.

The album's first singles, title track 'If I Want To' and 'Just Don't Ask Me How I Am' both went all the way to #1 on the Australian Country Radio and Music Video Charts, taking Jasmine Rae's tally of #1 hits to seven. In fact, 'If I Want To' spent 3 weeks at the top of the radio charts and a month at the top of the CMC Top 30 Countdown.

Kellie Pickler is one of country music's biggest names. With over 1.7 million Facebook fans and over a million Twitter followers, she is an undisputed superstar of the genre. As well as having five Top #20 Billboard Country Hits, multiple CMA nominations and three CMT Music Award wins, Pickler is a popular television personality, appearing regularly on programs like The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The View. Pickler was also the winner of the US Version of Dancing With The Stars in 2013 and her on screen talent has now translated to Australian audiences. Just last week, Pickler appeared on NBC's popular sitcom Nashville in the US, performing her latest US single 'Closer To Nowhere.' That episode will air later this year in Australia on the SOHO channel.

Pickler is also the co-host of the 2014 CMC Rocks The Hunter TV special which is now airing on CMC. Kellie Pickler's new album The Woman I Am, which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Country Chart in Australia, is out now through ABC Music/Universal Music Australia.

Jasmine Rae and Kellie Pickler were introduced to each other by Luke Wooten, the producer for both artists. When Wooten suggested Pickler as a duet partner, Rae leapt at the opportunity.

“I love Kellie’s attitude and her accent. She’s such a charismatic performer. Hearing her sing a song that I co-wrote is a real honour," says Jasmine Rae.

Pickler is equally complimentary about her friend and duet partner.

"She's an amazing singer and songwriter. She's a powerhouse," said Pickler in a recent interview with Country Capital News.

The music video for 'Bad Boys Get Me Good' was produced by Duncan Toombs, with animation from Judy Nadin. Toombs has won the Golden Guitar for Music Video of the Year at the Country Music Awards of Australia for the past 5 years.
